OXFORD — When Ole Miss faces off against Texas A&M in College Station on Saturday, expect senior quarterback Jordan Ta'amu to be leading the Rebels' offense.

Ta'amu, who injured his foot in the third quarter of Saturday's 48-44 loss to South Carolina, will be limited in practice this week, according to Ole Miss coach Matt Luke. But both Luke and offensive coordinator Phil Longo said they expect Ta'amu to be ready for Saturday.

"I don't think Jordan is even in question for Saturday's game," Longo said. "It's more precautionary than anything. He's a little bit sore more than he is injured. We're just going to be smart and give him a little bit of rest on Tuesday."

Ta'amu played well against South Carolina, throwing for 379 yards on 46 attempts. But only 18 of those yards came in the fourth quarter after his injury. Ta'amu missed a total five plays across two drives while dealing with the injury but returned each time with his foot heavily wrapped.

If Ta'amu is unable to go, the Rebels will turn to freshman Matt Corral. Corral played while Ta'amu was getting taped up on Saturday, handing the ball off three times and throwing two incompletions. For the season, Corral is 11-for-14 with 174 yards and two touchdowns.

Per the new NCAA redshirt rule, a player can take the field in four separate games and retain his redshirt status. Corral has played in three games, meaning he can play in one of Ole Miss' final three contests and still be classified as a redshirt freshman for 2019.

"If we need him, Matt's the guy," Luke said. "But again, I think Jordan's going to be fine. We'll limit him this week just to get him healthy. But it's not an injury that we think is going to keep him out of the game."

Elsewhere in Ole Miss injury news:

Sophomore wide receiver Braylon Sanders (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Saturday. If Sanders is unable to go, it is likely that junior wide receiver A.J. Brown will move from the slot to the outside in Sanders' place with freshman Elijah Moore taking over for Brown in the slot.
